"Are you two just looking at it, or do you need something specific?" The store was a little deserted, and the owner of the shop was a middle-aged man who was reading the newspaper, and at this moment, he suddenly saw Jia Yidao and Ah San talking and laughing. While entering the store, I glanced at a few low-level things placed at the entrance of the store, and my eyes flew by. This is a sign that only connoisseurs have.

Of course, it may be that a layman who doesn't understand anything is pretending to understand.

"Let's take a look at it first. Jia Rudao said.

"It feels pretty good. Ah San said, "Boss, do you have any good bloodstones in this shop?"

"Hehe, if you want to find bloodstone, the two of you have found the right place, I ...... here" The boss didn't open his mouth to continue to praise a few words, but Ah San stretched out his hand to stop him, and his expression couldn't help but be stunned. It seems that Ah San's behavior is quite unkind.

"Just take something out and have a look. Ah San said indifferently, "I'm here to see the bloodstone, as for my friend, you just let him take a look at it at will." Don't worry about him now. ”

"Okay. The boss nodded, and then, in a small lattice near the cash register, he groped for a while, and really took out a seal, which is not big, about a finger so slightly higher, about the thickness of three fingers, and the carving is relatively simple, there is no special portrayal, and it feels very 'natural'. However, Ah San couldn't help but light up when he saw it.

For the carving of bloodstone, in fact, the most important thing is to carve according to the situation. If the natural bloodstone itself has a certain shape, it doesn't need to bother much. Of course, this is also because the material itself is relatively small, once carved up, not to mention, it is easy to make mistakes, it is better to simply show the 'true face' of the person. Or, among the people known to the owner of the bloodstone, none of them are proficient in carving.

What makes Ah San more pleased is that the 'blood volume' of this bloodstone is relatively sufficient, and in terms of color, it is also very dynamic and bright. If you look closely, you can see that about half of the surface part has 'blood'.

"Very nice. Ah San praised it, and then looked at it directly. For a material like bloodstone, it is not suitable for long-term care under strong light. Ah San is not a pure layman, so he naturally knows this, and when he checks it, he is also very attentive. After this move, the owner of the store also nodded again and again.

"However, the blood is a little uneven. In addition,......" Ah San said while watching, it seems that he Ah San is such a top expert in bloodstone, the boss's reaction does not care for the time being, Jia Rudao on the side, but he feels funny in his heart, I don't know what Ah San can fool?

Isn't it true that Ah San really wants such a piece of bloodstone, right?

However, it is also possible. After all, Jia Rudao and Ah San came over together, and Jia Rudao had already gambled back a piece of bloodstone wool, which could be regarded as a direct consignment back to Linhai, but he Ah San was still empty-handed. If you don't get a ready-made bloodstone back, it's a little unreasonable.

Looking at some of the study utensils in front of him, what made Jia Yidao a little depressed was that the quality of the things here was not very high. I am particularly disappointed that there is no conspicuous appearance of porcelain, most of them are some inkstones, town stones, etc., it seems that it is such a small shop, but it is also following the environment of Lin'an County to survive. This place is famous for its bloodstones, and by the way, more shops in the county town sell items related to this.

Although it is not necessary that every store will have bloodstone, it is not far off.

Fortunately, when Jia Rudao's antique street was there, he also looked at some inkstones from Ma Lao's side, not to mention, for Chengni inkstone, he also knew a little, and this son saw a lot of inkstones in this store, although his heart was not full of expectation, but he also had a somewhat familiar feeling.

Reaching out and picking up an inkstone, it was relatively heavy, and the ghost made the god worse, Jia Rudao used his own ability perception to detect this inkstone, but he felt that the texture inside it was very delicate, and it seemed to be a little similar to the fetal feeling of porcelain.

When I think about it, I understand.

The stone that can be used as an inkstone is not delicate enough, right?

In this way, Jia Rudao's heart was flooded with a new interest, that is, he wanted to see if he could find out the most delicate texture among these inkstones? If he really found out, then ask the boss about the value of these inkstones of different textures, and how much he can judge the quality of these inkstones, and how much influence it has on the price they show.

Suddenly, the corners of Jia Rudao's mouth pulled a wry smile, it seemed that when he used the ability perception before, the things he was aiming at were too simple, almost just looking at the jade rough stone, especially after the large amount of money brought by the gambling stone, other things were a little unsightly.

For this reason, you will also miss out on a lot of wonderful and interesting things, right?

Thinking of it, Jia Rudao kept picking up this inkstone on the shelf to see, and then picked up that piece, fortunately, Jia Rudao's techniques are relatively stable, how to say that he often plays with porcelain, and there is no caution in picking up the inkstone at this time, or it is the feeling of dragging mud and water. In addition, Ah San was talking nonsense with the shopkeeper about bloodstones, and the boss didn't say anything even if he noticed Jia Yidao's actions. On the contrary, I would think in my heart that Jia Rudao and Ah San are both people in the industry, right?

"By the way, Ah San, did you negotiate something over there?" After a while, Jia Rudao had an objective understanding of the inkstones in front of him, so he turned to ask Ah San.

"Hehe, I've taken a fancy to such a bloodstone seal, but the price can't be said. Ah San was also a scoundrel, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with the price.

The boss's face was smiling bitterly, and when he saw Jia Yidao's curious gaze, he couldn't help but say helplessly: "This friend of yours is pressing the price too much, and I really don't have much to earn." I've been in a store for decades, and the things in it are all guaranteed, and there is no way to sell it at such a low price. ”

However, as the so-called business is not in benevolence and righteousness, the boss does not have a bad face towards Ah San's 'stubbornness', but there is some regret that the transaction cannot be completed.

"Then why don't you talk about the price of these inkstones?" Jia Rudao said as he helped Ah San, who was deliberately looking for faults, "If the price is right, we can make a deal." ”

"Oh, this friend is interested in inkstones?" The boss's eyes couldn't help but light up, as if he was far more interested in talking about inkstones than the bloodstone seal just now. Jia Rudao muttered to himself in his heart, shouldn't he have met a burner of inkstones?

Sure enough, Jia Nidao didn't ask anything here, but the boss himself introduced several inkstones to Jia Nidao, what kind of family heirloom, from somewhere else, all kinds of strange collection methods, almost everything, and when it comes to the price, although Jia Nidao doesn't know very much, he can also feel the sincerity on the face of the boss when he said these words.

If it weren't for the fact that the boss was an absolutely shrewd businessman, then he would be a person who was full of feelings for inkstones.

Jia Nidao prefers to believe that the other party is the latter, after all, Jia Nidao himself is also because he likes jadeite, he opened a jade company, and even opened a jade shop, right? Although at the beginning, Jia Nidao was indeed aiming for the profit of gambling stones, but, gradually, with the past few months, Jia Nidao continued to understand jadeite, Jia Nidao is more of his love for jadeite.

Otherwise, there would not be a move to list jade jewelry like the 'Zodiac' as a non-sale, right? Perhaps, some shrewd big businessmen, such as Hong Kong's Dong Zong. will think that this is Jia Yidao deliberately hanging the customer's appetite and trying to attract everyone's attention. However, Jia Rudao is very sincere in preparing to collect such a set of superb jadeite.

It's even the 'Blood Jade Bracelet'. Jia Rudao is not ready to sell either!

Of course, from Jia Rudao's hesitation at the beginning of whether to cut the giant glass imperial green jadeite rough, to the plan to try to ensure the integrity of this jadeite material after returning from Guangdong Gambling Stone, and the plan to send it to Jieyang to carve for Li Lao, and then to the plan to carve by himself after learning the carving craft, all show that Jia Nidao's feelings for jadeite are growing day by day.

At this time, if someone still says that Jia Nidao doesn't like jade, I'm afraid Jia Nidao himself will doubt it, right?

And the shopkeeper in front of him seems to be in a similar situation to Jia Yidao, and it is precisely because he likes the inkstone that he opened such an antique shop. This made the conversation between the two even more speculative, which could only provoke Ah San's repeated eyes on the side. Of course, from the conversation of the shop owner, Jia Rudao knew that the shop was inherited by the owner from his father's generation. However, it does not affect the boss's liking for inkstones.

More importantly, even in small talk, Jia Nidao also roughly figured out the price of inkstones of different textures, which was really consistent with what Jia Nidao had guessed before. Of course, there is still a big difference in specifics. For example, the price of the inkstone, as well as the difference in its fame.

It's like a kind of thing of the same quality, and if it's famous, it will have a price advantage after all, right? Otherwise, what else do you need to advertise? What else do you need to advertise?

Before leaving this shop, Jia Rudao and Ah San didn't buy anything, and they did exchange their contact information with the shop owner, and it was a very happy thing to meet a peer with the same interests and hobbies in the vast sea of people.

Before going out, the boss also mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally: "Ah San, did you really fall in love with that bloodstone seal just now?" If it is true, the price I gave is definitely below the market price level, why don't you want it?"

Straight to the embarrassment of Ah San, he hurriedly walked a few steps, and shouted in his mouth: "Next time I have a chance, remember to go to Linhai to play, I will definitely treat you well." ”

However, Jia Yidao said goodbye to the other party with a smile, and also issued an invitation, so that the other party could go to the seaside for a walk. Anyway, it's not a waste of time to 'shop' some antiques. However, the shopkeeper also told Jia Yidao very sincerely that if you really want to find some good things here, and you can 'pick up the leaks', you can go to a shop called 'Yunlai Pavilion' at the other end of the street.

Jia Rudao asked, "Why?"

The shopkeeper said a little incomprehensibly: "You'll know when you go." ”

In this regard, Jia Yidao didn't want to ask too much. Catching up with Ah San, who was walking in front, he said the words of the shop owner, Ah San immediately decided to kill directly to 'Yunlai Pavilion', whether he really had the opportunity to 'pick up the leak', after having such a hope, he walked and felt different.

However, before he went far, Ah San suddenly stopped his steps, glanced at Jia Nidao quite meaningfully, and his eyes gestured ahead, Jia Nidao has been watching while walking, for the 'Yunlai Pavilion' that the shop owner said, Jia Nidao is not very interested, if he can really pick up the leak, why don't the shop owners themselves go? Therefore, Jia Nidao is also very calm and focused his attention on other shops on both sides of the street. If there's porcelain for sale, or jadeite, go in and have a look.

Porcelain is purely because of preference, and jadeite is naturally because it is a peer.

"What's wrong?" Jia Rudao looked at Ah San in surprise, followed his gaze, but was also shocked, standing at the door of a shop in front of him, it was Miss Yang, who had a graceful figure and a little wheat-colored skin. I couldn't help but sigh and mutter. "It's really a place in life where we don't meet. ”

"What a mess. This is called fate, understand?" At the moment, Ah San didn't care what Jia Yidao thought, so he walked over directly. Obviously, when Jia Yidao and Ah San approached, Miss Yang also saw the two of them, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile on her face, and nodded at the two.

"Miss Yang, could it be that you opened this shop?" Ah San is not a life, generally speaking, while looking up at the signboard hanging in front of the store: Shi Zhixuan.

If the encounter at this time is still in the trading area of the market at the foot of Yuyan Mountain, Ah San will definitely not be so direct, but when he arrives in Lin'an, he can meet again, and such a greeting will not seem reckless.

"yes. Miss Yang continued to nod and said with a light smile, "The two bosses are going to sit in the shop? ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say. Ah San smiled and said, "Just call me Ah San, this, Jia Rudao, Xiao Jia." "As for what kind of business it is doing and what kind of industry it is mixed in, does this need to be introduced?

Miss Yang leaned sideways and gave way slightly. Ah San happily pulled a hand of Jia Nidao, who was still a little stunned, and the three of them came to the inside of the 'Stone Xuan' together, the initial feeling is that this is a completely stone-based shop, the place is not big, but there are a lot of 'contents', in terms of the number of strange stones placed, it is far beyond the imagination of Jia Nidao and Ah San. The rest, there is a relatively large number of bloodstones, and the red color of that piece makes people look at it a little dazzling.

However, Xu saw that Ah San and Jia Yidao's identities should also be insiders, but Miss Yang did not stop at the store, but directly took the two to the manager's office in the back.

The office is not big, but it looks very exquisite, and at first glance you can see that it is from the hands of a woman, clean and tidy, and everything is placed just right. Occasionally, there are also some bloodstone carvings, showing that this is in a 'stone pavilion'. After Miss Yang sat down, the woman and the beautiful stone ornaments reflected each other, which could be regarded as a unique charm.

gives Jia Nidao and Ah San the feeling that it seems to be people and stones, both of which are real boutiques.

"Mr. Jia, did you cut out the wool the day before yesterday?" Maybe she didn't know what to say, but in the end, Miss Yang chose to start with bloodstone. No matter how you look at it, this is also the common preference of the three at present.

"Not yet. Jia Rudao smiled. It's okay not to mention that piece of wool, but when it comes to it, Jia seems to be a little humane. Perhaps, Miss Yang in front of her doesn't think so, but in her heart, Jia Rudao thinks like this, and always feels that she should find a reason to return the favor.

Otherwise, just find a brilliant stone carving here at the 'Stone Xuan' and buy it back at a slightly higher price?

On the contrary, Ah San praised it with a big grin: "Miss Yang's shop should be an old shop! ……”

As for what kind of meaning it is, Ah San can't describe it, it's like walking into an antique store, you can clearly feel the heritage, not exactly the decoration, but also many other factors. Either because of the artistic conception exuded by the things on display, or because of the pure feeling.

People in the antique industry will feel a little more obvious about this feeling.

"Ah San, you laughed. Miss Yang said, "This store is a branch of our 'Shizhixuan', and it is not small in its years, but it is not as good as those real century-old stores." ”

"Don't say that. Ah San said, "If even such a store can't be regarded as an old store, then Xiao Jia's store can only be regarded as a very, very new store." ”

"Oh, Mr. Jia is also in the business of bloodstone?" Because this is Lin'an, Ah San mentioned the store again, no wonder Miss Yang asked such a question. What's more, Miss Yang still trusts Jia Yidao's identification vision on bloodstone.

"Emerald. Jia Rudao replied, "I just opened it a few days ago." A very, very new store indeed. When he said the words 'very, very', Jia Rudao deliberately accentuated his voice, and then glared at Ah San. However, Xu didn't let Miss Yang in front of him see the joke. has already talked about his own shop again, but Jia Rudao also briefly introduced it. Regardless of whether Miss Yang has intersections with the jadeite industry or not, there is no harm in knowing one more acquaintance.

However, after Ah San said a few words briefly, he looked at Jia Yidao, revealing a strange and ambiguous look. turned to apologize to Miss Yang, saying that he was going out for a walk, so that Jia Rudao and Miss Yang could communicate more here, and even the reason for mentioning it was that the two of them were the owners of their respective stores, so they naturally had some common language, but he, an idler, paid more attention to the bloodstones placed on the counter outside!

After Ah San left, Miss Yang instructed the waiter in the store to receive her.

In the office, there were only Jia Yidao and Miss Yang for a while, a man and a woman, and the scene was slightly embarrassing.

Fortunately, at this time, another waiter, who was originally preparing tea, brought it up with the freshly brewed Biluochun. It can be regarded as interrupting the discomfort that gradually spreads between the two. The new tea, placed on the coffee table, exudes a faint and elegant fragrance, and the office is gradually filled with a faint fragrance.

Jia Rudao involuntarily took a deep breath, and he didn't know if it was the fragrance of tea or the fragrance of women. In the curling, there is a feeling of lingering aftertaste. Immediately afterwards, Jia Rudao took a sip casually, quietly experiencing the taste of new tea, just like the two people sitting opposite, the silent state of mind at this moment seemed to be looking at each other, and they didn't say anything to each other, and no one knew anything in their hearts.

Surely this is the joy of tea tasting

It was about a while. Jia Rudao still couldn't help it, and said first: "Miss Yang's business is very big." Does it mean to expand to other types?"

"Oh, why did Mr. Jia say that?" seemed to be a topic of Jia Nidao, which was somewhat unexpected by Miss Yang, and while smiling on her face, she was also a little curious. It's as if Jia seems to be looking for something to say.

"This is not Miss Yang just now. You said it yourself. Jia Rudao didn't care about the other party's thoughts, he just wanted to talk about the topic as soon as possible, "At the moment, in my opinion, this store is already a very good store, but it is still a branch of 'Shi Zhixuan', which shows how big the business of 'Shi Zhixuan' is." ”

After a pause, Jia Rudao continued to analyze, "And from the time I entered this shop just now, I took a general look at some of the stone carvings placed outside, which are naturally dominated by bloodstone, but there are a lot of them like Tian Huangshi, not to mention for the time being, and there are also a lot of other famous stones." In addition, I was a little surprised that there were so many jade objects. ”

"Because I saw jade. Therefore, do you feel that 'Shi Zhixuan' is planning to march in many ways?" Miss Yang is also very smart, from Jia Yidao's point, it is easy to hear the specific meaning, if Qingtian Stone, Tian Huangshi and Bloodstone are placed together, it is still reasonable. The appearance of nephrite jade does have some cross-line meaning.

"Actually, why don't I want to expand it?" Jia Rudao said to him.

"No wonder Mr. Jia is coming to Lin'an. Miss Yang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "But is Mr. Jia really a jade shop that has just opened recently? In my opinion, Mr. Jia's eyesight on bloodstone is really not weak." Presumably, in the Jade line, it is even more powerful. ”

While speaking, Jia Rudao looked at Miss Yang's red lips, her heart was beating for a while, and her face couldn't help but feel a little hot, first pretending to taste tea, and diverted her gaze, which can be regarded as the calm of Kan's recovery, and scolded himself in his heart for how he had such a wretched look! You must know that in front of Ji Yanran, or Li Shiyun, there has never been such a mentality, right?

A woman's beauty is indeed a lot of trouble, but more often, it's a fatal temptation, isn't it?

Especially when a woman's beauty is all concentrated in one point, this temptation is even stronger. Fortunately, at that moment just now, Jia Nidao had not yet raised the topic of cooperation with 'Shi Zhixuan'.

In fact, after visiting the bloodstone companies and shops in Lin'an today, Jia Rudao had a plan to find an ordinary bloodstone store to cooperate. Contact the big companies of bloodstone wool yourself. People clearly don't look down on you, so finding a ready-made shop instead naturally becomes the choice.

After all, the shop run by Jia Yidao is not based on bloodstone, but on jadeite. The carving of bloodstone is just an embellishment. Just a small amount of the best is needed. Of course, this kind of 'small amount' is not something that Jia Yidao can easily obtain by gambling on wool in Changhua.

And after seeing the decoration of the things in the 'Shi Zhixuan' store, Jia Nidao's thoughts quickly changed his actions, and after being silent for a while, Jia Nidao's mind was thinking about how to talk to Miss Yang. That's why Jia Rudao broke the silence between the two.
